It goes on to highlight stories about black men who have killed white women, claiming that relationships between black men and white women “[start] with brutal rape, then get much worse.”

The University of Michigan has since released a statement condemning the posters’ “racist point of view” and said they’d been removed.

“Messages of racial, ethnic or religious discrimination have no place at the University of Michigan,” the statement reads. “Targeted attacks against groups of people serve only to tear apart our university community.”

The statement continues:

“While we continue to defend any individual’s right to free speech on our campus, these types of attacks directed toward any individual or group, based on a belief or characteristic, are inconsistent with the university’s values of respect, civility and equality. We also have a responsibility to create a learning environment that is free of harassment. These are core values and guiding principles that will help us as we strive to live up to our highest ideals.”

The University of Michigan’s Black Student Union has not responded to Mic‘s request for comment.
